Katy Perry wore these heart-shaped diamond drops for her inauguration night performance of “Firework” earlier this month.

The inauguration looked different this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for heightened security around the Capitol.

Bruce Springsteen opened the night, singing “Land of Hope and Dreams” from the Lincoln Memorial, while Katy Perry closed it, belting out her 2010 hit “Firework” in front of a breathtaking display of the same around the Washington Monument.
For the performance, the Grammy-winner, “American Idol” judge and new mom donned a pair of heart-shaped diamond earrings set in 18-karat white gold from Rahaminov Diamonds.
They were a brilliant complement to Perry’s 1950s, Audrey-Hepburn inspired red, (mostly) white and blue separates from designer Thom Browne.
